The Bonds That Break Us

De: Erin Mainord

Narrado por: Jacci Prior, James Cavenaugh

She wants revenge. He wants her.

After learning of Sin's dark deceptions, Wren travels to The Feral Vale, where she is introduced to therustic land of the elves. She vows to protect her family at all expense, even if that means keeping the Black Art's treacherous secret.

When a realm divided draws the unwanted attention of a neighboring king, Wren and the elves mustresort to clever schemes to gain leverage in the impending war. Wren and her family are determined to lay low—a challenging feat when the entire kingdom guard is searching for the "white-haired witch."

She longs to forget the betrayal that drove her here. More so, she longs to forget him, but when circumstance thrusts them together, the result is nothing short of incendiary.

As motives come to light, Wren isn't sure who she can rely on, but one fact becomes startling, andinfuriatingly, clear: Wren and Sin must combine forces if any of them has a hope to survive the disconcerting conflict ahead. With past hurts challenging them at every step, the road ahead is punishing.

War is brutal, but nothing is more maiming than furious love.

I AM OBSESSED. The story itself moves well and is gripping on its own, however the audio adds a whole new level and had me on the edge of my seat. Jacci Prior does a wonderful job of bringing Wren to life, and James Cavenaugh’s voice as Sin… 🫠🫠🫠 he is easily a new favorite male narrator voice! Sin’s emotions were so wonderfully on display without the characterization being lost.

I really loved seeing Wren’s growth and discovery, and seeing all of the characters grow. I love a well-paced story that has grip but doesn’t lose itself to lore and world-building, and that is what Mainord did so beautifully here! The romance is so well-balanced with the story.

I am absolutely obsessed and cannot WAIT for book three!!!

Incredible performance!!

The narrators killed it!! They were fantastic! This duet narration was the perfect choice for this book and I am SO excited to listen to the next one too!

The story was incredible and the ending has me dying for the next book!! I absolutely love this author and her writing 💕

Amazing Duet!

The Bonds That Break Us is everything I could ever want in a romantasy sequel-darker, steamier, and even more emotionally intense than the first book. Erin Mainord delivers a pulse-pounding, heart-wrenching continuation that grips you from page one and never lets go.

Wren and Singard's dynamic is absolute perfection-their chemistry is a deliciously volatile mix of tension, passion, and raw emotion. A true enemies-to-lovers-to-enemies steamy fantasy! Jacci Prior and James Cavenaugh bring this dynamic to life with stunning duet narration, making every moment feel raw and immersive.

The worldbuilding is lush, the action relentless, and the betrayals cut deep. And that ending?! Erin Mainord is cruel in the best way possible.

If you thought the first book was intense, this one will ruin you—in the best way. An absolute must-listen for fans of dark, enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance. Unforgettable, addictive, and utterly devastating. I’m desperate for book three!

This powerful story is meant to be seen and heard!

I loved this audiobook adaptation! Jacci channels Wren’s wrath and ferocity perfectly and
James embodies Sin’s possessiveness, authority, and guilt. Both narrators brilliantly portray the warring emotions and the highs and lows for both MCs.

Unlikely alliances are formed. As they look to the future, can they right the wrongs of the past?

This powerful story is meant to be seen and heard. Prepare for an emotional, tumultuous, and steamy journey! I cannot wait for the final installment, The Beasts That Bleed Us, coming April 1, 2025!

Beyond grateful for this review copy. This is my honest and voluntary review

New book!

I love the story line and the characters very much! But what I absolutely hate is them ending on a cliffhanger! Then having to wait so long for the next one. How long until the third comes out?
